Can you send me a filelist please? I'm working on Makefile targets to get rid of the old files/libs/dirs. If you've recompiled _everything_ (even software which wasn't installed via /usr/ports), there's no obvious reason to not delete them. But even if there's something which doesn't work after removing them: it should be easy to recompile the failing software.
